Sawadee Mr Kazanjian II

Earlier I posted on Mr Kazanjian resigning from the City Council.

Now we get the rest of the story, or apparently so, from the Paper of Record. The Lowell Sun says it is so he can bid on the new towing contracts.

Frankly, it makes good sense from Mr Kazanjian's perspective.

And, in the same paper reporter Christopher Scott tells us "Mendonca expected to fill council seat left by Kazanjian".  This will be Joe's second time fleeting up to take the place of a departing City Counciler. Congratulations, Joe.

  Note that since this is a link to an article in The Lowell Sun, it will likely expire in 30 days.  I will not be updating the link at that point unless I am shut in with the Swine Flu.

Well Cliff. You can thank me for declining the seat and not moving the entire council to the left! Enjoy the blog - keep it up.

You've taken a bit of a leap concluding that the SUN article is saying he resigned in order to be able to receive a towing contract.

The towing contract may be a fall-out of having resigned for some other reason. Then again, you may be spot on, but that is not what the SUN is saying.

I was remiss in not mentioning that Mehmed Ali had to turn down the seat in order for Joe Mendonca to fleet up.  My apologizes to Mehmed Ali, who will one day return to Lowell and run and win a seat on the City Council or maybe do even more.

And, Mehmed, did you read "Essential Services as Counterinsurgency Strategy" in Joint Forces Quarterly?  If you did, what did you think of it?

Thanks

Regards  —  Cliff

Sigh... I just threw out my Mehmed Ali "boxing glove", while de-cluttering I had from the 07 race.
